My parents were on a mission to get me “settled” in life. They thought marriage would be the perfect solution, and honestly, I was ready for it too, like the Shah Rukh Khan of my own life arms wide open, flashing that iconic killer smile. I had waited patiently for 4 to 5 years for the right girl to come along. Then, on Vijaya Dashami in 2023, I met a girl who seemed perfect on the surface. She was even willing to change herself for me after marriage. But there was something off. I couldn’t pinpoint it, but I wasn’t satisfied.
Instead of addressing it, I made the mistake of searching for “better options.” So, like an absolute idiot, I started talking to other girls on dating apps, just playing the field while still engaged in talks with her. Then, the universe decided to mess with me. The day before my birthday, a girl walked into my life like a lightning bolt out of nowhere. She was *everything* I had ever dreamed of in a future wife. Beautiful, smart, kind the whole package.
She met me once and immediately said yes to marrying me when she went back home. Her family quickly visited ours, and everything was set, all before I even had the decency to say no to the first girl. And get this the second girl knew about her! I thought I had won the jackpot. But guess what? Karma came knocking. Hard. Just like I had crushed the first girl’s feelings without even thinking, the same thing happened to me. The first girl, who I treated like an afterthought, had started liking me for real, and I left her heartbroken.
Well, what goes around comes around. The second girl, my “dream girl,” pulled the same crap on me. Misunderstandings arose between us, and she dropped me like I was nothing like I was some insignificant fling. My life literally stopped. She left me with no explanation, no closure, nothing. Just poof. Gone. It’s been two months, and I still don’t know why she left me. And then, just when I thought I was starting to move on, she comes back.
She waltzes back into my life, saying she wanted to marry me all along but had been angry over some so-called “issues”-all of which turned out to be utter BS. But like an idiot, I took her back. We talked for a few days, and I let myself believe in her again. Then, her commitment issues started popping up like clockwork. No calls. No texts. No updates on her life. She even forbade me from contacting her family members, all while dangling the possibility of marriage in front of me like a carrot.
I couldn’t take it anymore, so in a moment of pure rage, I told her brother and brother-in-law everything. And that’s when she completely flipped out. She exploded, telling me she never wanted me in her life again. Just like that. After all the back and forth, after all the emotional games, she had the audacity to act like I was the villain. So here I am, back to square one unmarried, and wondering if I’ll ever get out of this vicious cycle.
